高砷难处理金精矿细菌氧化-氰化提金

通过在高砷金精矿中配入不同比例的低砷碳酸盐型金精矿,使其所含硫、砷及铁等主要矿物成分含量发生变化,研究给矿中铁砷摩尔比对难处理高砷金精矿细菌氧化一氰化浸出效果的影响.结果表明:含砷金精矿中铁砷摩尔比直接影响细菌预氧化的效果,同时也影响细菌的活性和溶液中铁砷摩尔比的变化,给矿中铁砷摩尔比越高,溶液中的铁砷摩尔比也越高,且随着给矿中铁砷摩尔比的增加,溶液中铁砷摩尔比的变化幅度加大,给矿中铁砷摩尔比介于4.6~2之间,有利于细菌预氧化和氰化浸出,铁、砷氧化率分别由6.14%和7.38%提高到89.90%和93.60%,金、银浸出率分别由64.18%和35.93%提高到97.78%和88.83%,较好地改善细菌氧化效果,稳定和优化细菌预氧化过程.     

高砷硫金矿的预处理

黄铁矿和砷黄铁矿是高砷硫金矿和精矿的2种主要成分，它们将Au包裹在其中，用一般已知的方法处理该矿，存在Au收率低、过程复杂，易造成环境污染等问题。目前对高砷硫金矿的预处理方法主要有氧化焙烧法、加压氧化法、细菌氧化法、硝酸分解法、真空脱砷法等。其中真空脱砷法处理高砷硫金精矿能保护环境免受污染，同时使As作为对环境无污染产物析出，是一种理想的预处理方法。     

难处理高砷金矿的细菌氧化-提金研究

采用经过驯化的HQ0211菌对高砷金矿进行氧化预处理-氰化提金实验研究.该矿石含金128.5 g/t,含砷16.84%(质量分数,余同),含硫21.72%,含铁26.62%,氰化浸出率只有29.35%,是典型的高砷难处理矿.经过细菌氧化预处理,金矿脱砷率达到96.2%,失重率达到43.9%.矿石的金氰化浸出率由原来的29.35%提高到92.57%,效果十分显著.

湖南某高砷难处理金精矿的细菌氧化-氰化提金实验研究

湖南某高砷金精矿属于难处理矿石,含砷11.28%,含金66.18g/t,金的直接浸出率仅为21.91%.通过该样品5%、10%、15%、20%矿浆浓度的细菌氧化试验,发现金精矿砷的氧化率达到93%以上.细菌氧化渣的金浸出率随着矿浆浓度的增大而降低,5%矿浆浓度下细菌氧化渣的金浸出率为93.15%;10%矿浆浓度下细菌氧化渣的金浸出率为92.46%;15%矿浆浓度下细菌氧化渣的金浸出率为90.50%;20%矿浆浓度下细菌氧化渣的金浸出率为87.58%,比未经处理时金的直接氰化浸出率21.91%有了很大的提高,预处理效果很好.     

不同含砷类型金矿的细菌氧化-氰化浸出

对含砷类型不同的金精矿和单矿物进行细菌氧化-氰化浸出研究,分析毒砂和雄黄对金精矿细菌氧化-氰化浸出效果的影响。结果表明:在细菌氧化过程中,含砷金精矿中的毒砂易被氧化分解,经过192 h的细菌氧化后,脱砷率可达93.10%;而雄黄无法被细菌氧化分解,且影响细菌活性,延长浸矿的停滞期;在氰化浸出过程中,毒砂非常稳定,不参与任何副反应;而雄黄易与CN-及保护碱发生副反应,且产生的沉淀物质会在金粒表面形成薄膜,从而降低氰化浸出效率。     

▲用电化学浸出法加工难处理的金—砷精矿

采金工业的任务之一是寻求合理的加工难处理金-砷精矿的工艺流程。我们曾进行了含金硫化矿的氧化电化学浸出研究,把矿石中细分散的金分解出来,进一步用氰化法提取金。本文报导了利用电化学浸出法在苛性钠溶液中处理金-砷精矿的实验室研究结果。为进行实验,取了三种精矿,它们含有不同数量的黄铁矿和砷黄铁矿(％):

诱变对新菌株Leptospirillum ferriphilum YXW及浸出金矿的影响

通过稀释分离方法从江西德兴铜矿矿山废水中富集而来的混合菌中分离得到菌株 Leptospirillum ferriphilum YXW,再利用超声波、紫外线和微波对其进行诱变,筛选出更高效的细菌用于金矿的浸出。生理生化特性实验显示,菌株YXW为极端化能自养型细菌,最佳的生长条件为温度40°C,pH=1.5。诱变后,细菌浓度分别可达到9×109(超声波)、8.4×109(紫外线)和4.3×108 mL?1(微波),与原始菌相比,分别提高了291%、265%和87%。微波和紫外诱变后,细菌总蛋白活性升高,而超声诱变后,细菌总蛋白活性降低。诱变对细菌浸出金矿的影响由大到小的排列顺序是微波、紫外线、超声波。在金矿浸出过程中,微波诱变后的细菌具有最好的浸出效果。浸出10 d后,As和Fe的浸出率分别高出原始菌19.6%和17.7%。结果表明,诱变对细菌浸出金矿效果的提高,可能不在于细菌浓度的增大,而是取决于细菌总蛋白活性的提高。     

Bioleaching of refractory gold ore （ Ⅲ ）——Fluid leaching Jinya refractory gold concentrate by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans

A novel fluidized-bed reactor was designed and installed for bloleaching in a semi-continuous way, by which a process for biuleaching-cyanidation of Jinya refractory gold arsenical concentrate was studied. The arsenic extraction rate reaches 82.5 % after 4-day batch biooxidation of the concentrate under the optimized condition of pH 2.0, ferric ion concentration 6.Sg/L and pulp concentration 10%. And leached rate of gold in the following cyanida.tion is over 90%. The parameters of three series fluidized-bed reactors exhibit stability during the semi-continuous bioleaching of the concentrate.Armmic in the concentrate can be got rid of 91% after 6-day leaching. Even after 4 days, 82% of arsenic extraction rate was still obtained. The recovery rates of gold are 92 % and 87.5 % respectively in cyaniding the above bioleached residues.The results will provide a base for further commercial production of gold development.     

Research progress in biohydrometallurgy of rare metals and heavy nonferrous metals with an emphasis on China

In the past decade, progress in the field of biohydrometallurgy had been significant. A total of 17 novel biomining microorganisms were discovered, and eight copper heap bioleaching plants and 11 gold biooxidation plants were established or expanded. In this review, it was summarized the physiological properties of the newly isolated biomining microorganisms and three novel microbial ecological methods for studying microbial community dynamics and structure. In addition, biohydrometallurgy research on rare metals such as uranium,molybdenum, tellurium, germanium, indium, and secondary rare metal resources, as well as heavy nonferrous metals such as copper, nickel, cobalt, and gold has been reviewed, with an emphasis on China. In future, further studies on bioleaching of chalcopyrite, rare metals, secondary resources from waste, and environmental pollution caused by resource utilization are necessary.     

采用中温菌和常温菌浸出含砷金精矿

考察了不同矿浆浓度和接种量对细菌浸出含砷金精矿的影响。结果表明：中度嗜热嗜酸铁氧化菌MLY和嗜酸氧化亚铁硫杆菌（Acidthiobacillus ferrooxidans,At.f）的浸矿效果不同。MLY和At.f对含砷金精矿的浸出机理也不同;接种MLY的矿浆中,可能主要是溶液中的细菌将Fe^2＋氧化为Fe^3＋,再由Fe^3＋氧化溶解矿物,即以间接浸出作用为主;而接种At.f可能首先是At.f被吸附到矿物表面,通过细菌与矿物之间的某种界面作用引起矿物溶解,矿物溶解产生的Fe^2＋被游离菌氧化成为Fe^3＋,从而溶解矿物,即At.f浸出可能包括直接作用和间接作用的共同效应。     

Microbial oxidation of refractory gold sulfide concentrate by a native consortium

A defined mesophilic consortium including an iron oxidizing bacterium and a sulfur oxidizing bacterium was constructed to evaluate its ability for bioleaching a flotation concentrate from Andacollo mine in Neuquén, Argentina. Experiments were performed in shake flasks with a pulp density of 10% (w/v), using a basal salt medium containing ferrous iron at pH 1.8. The leaching solutions were analyzed for pH, redox potential (using specifics electrodes), ferrous iron (by UV-Vis spectrophotometry) and metal concentrations (by atomic absorption spectroscopy). The results showed that the consortium was able to reduce the refractory behavior of the concentrate, allowing 91.6% of gold recovery; at the same time, high dissolution of copper and zinc was reached. These dissolutions followed a shrinking core kinetic model. According to this model, the copper solubilization was controlled by diffusion through a product layer (mainly jarosite), while zinc dissolution did not show a defined control step. This designed consortium, composed of bacterial strains with specific physiological abilities, could be useful not only to optimize gold recovery but also to decrease the leachates metallic charge, which would be an environmental advantage.     

Comparative study on bioleaching of two different types of low-grade copper tailings by mixed moderate thermophiles

The bioleaching of two different types of low-grade copper tailings, acid-leaching tailings (ALT) and copper flotation tailings (CFT) by mixed moderate thermophiles, and the variation of mineralogical and microbiological characteristics during their dissolution processes were comparatively investigated. Results showed that bioleaching behaviors of the two types of tailings were significantly different. In ALT bioleaching, lower redox potential, higher [Fe³⁺]/[Fe²⁺] ratio and higher cell density in solution were obtained. These resulted in higher total copper, primary copper sulfide and secondary copper sulfide extractions, compared with CFT bioleaching. X-ray diffraction analysis suggested that gypsum and some metal organic complexes were detected in CFT bioleaching, which could cause the sluggish oxidation of sulphide minerals. The shifts of microbial community in the leachates and leaching residues varied greatly between ALT and CFT bioleaching. The percentage of iron-oxidizing bacteria in ALT bioleaching was higher than that of CFT, but the sulfur-oxidizing bacteria percentage was the opposite. The archaeon F. thermophilum L1 was detected in ALT but not in CFT.     

The biological leaching of an auriferous pyrite ore

The oxidation of an auriferous pyrite ore sample was evaluated in biological leaching experiments for subsequent gold recovery via cyanidation. In batch cultures, organisms derived from the mine site oxidized pyrite and ferrous iron at pH values as low as pH 0.6. The recovery of gold was variable in shake flask experiments. In stirred tank bioreactor leaching, gold recovery was proportional to the extent of iron dissolution by bioleaching. The leaching of arsenic from the sample was also directly proportional to iron dissolution.     

Feasibility study on heap bioleaching of chalcopyrite

Bioleaching of chalcopyrite often encountered the formation of passivation layer, which inhibited the leaching process and resulted in a low leaching rate. This inhibitory effect can be eliminated by thermophilic biole- aching. The industrial test of BioCOP technology based on thermophiles was successfully completed, which confirmed the feasibility of chalcopyrite bioleaching. However, industrial leaching rate of chalcopyrite heap bioleaching is lower. This paper described the development status and industrial test of chalcopyrite heap bioleaching technology. The reasons for the lower efficiency of chalcopyrite heap bioleaching were analyzed. The strategies for successful chalcopyrite heap bioleaching were proposed.
